FAQ: Does image size matter?
- No!
Filesize, image size, resolution etc. does not matter to us. We take what you have, no picture processing needed.
Actually, please challenge our server with LOTs of submissions of awesome birds. THAT's a challenge I would love to have to solve!

Re: PTO Online show - Winter 2018
A question about entering birds of a non-standard colour.....
Submitted to me:
"Hi there Blue Columbian Wyandotte is not a recognised colour but should it be entered as Wyandotte Any other colour? Obviously it could not progress further but the breeders would certainly be interested in comments."
and the Judge's answer:
"Enter it according to what it is... we allow for non recognized varieties and breeds to be shown... there only disadvantage is they could only go as far as best of variety or in the case of a non recognized breed only as far as Best of Breed ( non recognized) which would prevent it from being class champion / reserve class champion or beyond in awards. It is good to get an opinion on type and color as many that are not recognized today may be in the not too distant future. I am happy to give comments on such birds"
